Not so much as a single cloud could blemish the perfect blue sky this morning at Notchview Reservation, indicative of the day’s race and the results the Mount Greylock Nordic Ski team earned. The Mounties went a perfect six for six in today’s race, winning both varsity races, both junior varsity races and both team events. Skiing on Notchview’s picturesque trails, in and out of the woods and across huge open fields, all athletes enjoyed their final classic league race while many prepped for tomorrow’s EHS and J2 qualifier outside of Boston.

The third wave gets started in the girls varsity race at Notchview.

Once again, not much changed at the top of the heap in the girl’s varsity race as Mackenzie Hitchcock cruised to victory again, outpacing Cate Costley by about a minute. Costley’s time of twenty-three minutes, fifty-nine seconds was still enough to put her safely in second with ninety seconds before Mohawk’s Brenna Keogh and Lenox’s Josie Marshall. Despite an equipment malfunction off the starting line, Greylock’s Laura Nolan fought her way back to fifth despite an unlucky beginning and finished with, all things considered, a very impressive showing. Amy Santella, Haley Mahar and Allegra Robertson rounded out the scoring for Greylock. Alexa Adams won the junior varsity.

Mackenzie Hitchcock (MG) – 1st place.

On the boy’s side, “it was like déjà vu all over again” as the podium in this race was identical to that of the Mohawk race two weekends ago. Jordan Tuboly snagged his second win of the year, beating Wahconah’s Terry Fowler and Greylock’s Luke Costley. After them came Lenox’s Bill Prescott and Wahconah’s Kyle Dempsey making the top five all within a minute of the lead. In the junior varsity race, Greylock took not only top spot in Aaron Taylor’s win, but the top eight overall. Alex White followed in second, Sean Houston in third and Johnny Karabinos dominated on his way to fourth.

Jordan Tuboly (MG) – 1st place.

Luke Costely (MG) – 3rd place and Bill Prescott (Lenox) 4th place.
